THE DEATH PENALTY.
Cluverius Hanged in Richmo ond fol
Miss MadiSon'S Murder.

Cluverius Hanged in Richmond for
Miss MadiSon'S Murder.
At los o'clock p. NJ. on the 14th 7. j. Gu
verius was hanged at Richmond, Va He
died without any confession, and speaking
through Dr. Hatcher, his minister, said that
in this moment of his death he had no feel
ing of ill.wll toward man on earth. The
story of his crime is as follows:
On the morning of March Il, 1855, Mr.. L.
Rose, keeper of the old city reservoir, ,discoV-
cred the body of woman in the reservoir.
1t proved to be that of good-looking woman
about twenty-five years of age. The Coroner
pronounced it a case of suicide, and had the
body removed to the morgue for iden-
tification, Mr.. Peter J. Burton, re-
porter of the Richmond Dispqtch, sub,
seluently went to the reservoir and
then to the morgue, and his investigation re.
suited in murder theory upon chain OF
circumstantial evidence. During two days
many people saw the body, and it was finally
recognized by two young ladies as friend
of theirs, Miss Fanny Lillian Madison, of
King aud Queen County, but who had for
some time past been teaching school in Bath
County.
Detectives and police were set to work, and
in short time brought to light circumstan-
CeS LudJ duueu w UuO WY
ory. A woman who had registered at the
American Hotel on the 18th OF March under
the name of Miss F. L. Merton was missing
from the hotel, and her disappearance and
the finding of the body about tie. same
time furnished the clue. While the So
called miss Merton" was at the
hotel she wrote and received several
notes, but one directed by her was never d.
livered, aud after her departure from the
hotel it was torn to pieces by the clerk and
cast into the waste basket. The scraps OF
this note and the envelope were subsequently
brought to light, aud when pasted together
it served as one of the principal links in the
chain which convicted the murderer, it belng
addressed to "T. j. Cluverius."
Inquiry showed that the man was young
lawyer Of King and Queen county and a
cousin of the deceased girl. This led to the
arrest of C!uverius, who was known to have
been in Richmond on the 18th Of March. He
was found at the residence of his aunt, IN
King and Queen county, and brought
to Richmond. He was indicted in
April for murder. and his trial began at
the May term of the court aud continued for
twenty EIGHT days. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty. Nearly two hundred witnesses were
examined, and step by step tho evidence
fixed upon the prisoner tho brand of Sc
ducer and murderer. The jury, after q
few minutes consideration, rendered q
verdict of murder in the first degree.

The latest method of identifying pris.
oners, which has been introduced into
France by NJ. Alphonso Bertillon, and
which is now successfully practiced not
only in the chief French prisons, but in
Russia and Japan as we'll, is the exact
measurement of the prisoner on his ar
rival at the Jail. His waist, the length
and width of the head, the left middle
finger, the left foot, the outstretched
arms, the three other fingers of the left
hand, the left arm from the elbow to the
wrist, and the length and width of the
ear are mcasu ed, and the color of the
eyes and many particularities are noted
down. A photograph is also immedi-
ately taken, and by these means the
many mistakes which have been made
by trusting to photographer only are
avoided. The fact that during the two
years since this mode has been in opera
ton S26 habitual criminals who present.
ed themselves under an assumed name
have been identified in France shows
that NJ. Bertillon's method is superior to
any other.

A STRANGE DISASTER.
A Deserted Vessel Laden With Giant
Powder Blows Up.

A Deserted vessel Laden Win Uiah'
Powder Blows Up.
An explosion took place at the Cliff House,
San Francisco, at o'clock A. NJ, the other
morning which shook the entire city like an
earthquake and destroyed several buildings,
besides, perhaps, fatally injuring as least
without parallel in events of like nature.
kThe schooner Parallel, having on board
forty-two tons of giant powder, for some rea,
son had been abandoned at sea, and drlfted
on the rocks near the Cliff House, celebra-
ted resort. The vessel was hard and fast
ashore, when suddenly, at o'clock
A. NJ, without premonition, there was
terrific explosion, followed a second later by
another which seemed to shake the very foun-
dations of the earth. 1t was heard for miles
and every one in the city thought the strlk-
tionally disastrous deed. When the
smoke of the explosion blew away not
stick of the vessel was to be seen, While
the debris Of the rigging, timbers, pieces OF
iron, etc., was scattered about the country
for three-quarters OF O mile in every dlrec-
ton. Cliff House, on the top Of bill hum
dred yards away, suffered most. The entire
side toward the wreck was crushed in like
cardboard. An immense wave, weighing
tons, was lifted into the air and carried
clear over the top of the house, which
is fully one hundred and fifty feet obove the
sea level Every window and door
in the house was smashed into kindllng and
the foundations were wrenched so that the
building is unsafe. Two hundred feet from
the main building is two-story cottage OF
large size occupied as private residence.
This was blown bodily off its foundations
and moved five feet in from the sea.
The occupants were thrown from their
beds and some sustained injuries.
while the building was completely riddled
and left wre,k. The mansion Of Adolph
Sutro, still further up the hill, and at least
one-third of mile from the wre k of the
vessel, was hit by flying missiles aud p.eses
of iron, etc, and every window smashed,
while the extensive conservatory on the
grounds was entirely demolished. Over half
a mile up the beach hotel and pavilion win
dows were smashed and the wreckage strewn
all ab. ut. Two of the life-saving crew
Henry Smith and John Wilson, who were
close to the vessel, were severely and prob
ably fatally injured, both receiving ghastly
wounds in the head, besides being badly cut
and bruised all over the body. The force OF
the explosion was evidently upward, and so
these men luckily escaped being blown into
atoms.

FATAL FIRES

Four Lives Lost in Kentucky and
Three in British Columbia
Early few mornings ago, as special
freight train loaded with cotton was pulling
into Paducah, Ky, one of the cars was dis
covered to be on fire. The crew pre-
vented the fire from spreading to tho
other cars. While removing the de-
bris of the burned car, four dead bodies,
charred beyond recognition, were discov-
erel. They are supposed to have been the
remains of tramps, whether white or black
it is impossible to say. The car was locked
at Memphis, but the men must have entered
to their horrible fate through a window in
the end Of the car which could have been
opened from the outside.
Fire broke out in the Arlington House,
New Westminster, British Columbia, at a.
m. The structure being wooden, was soon
one mass of flames, and Thomas Ma"kay, q
contractor of Frazer River Lighthouse;
George Campbell, of Sherbrooke, Quebec,
and Rufus Brown, fence builder, Of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad, were burned to
death.

Many Persons Affected at Troy, n. Y.
Three Deaths.
About twenty persons living in the vicinity
of the Fuel Gas Company's works, Troy, N.

by inhaling escaping gas, and three
died. The Gas, which is odorless, came
from q leak in the company's mains,

Tallmadge's daughter was next prostrated.
Ten other persons il the house were similar.
ly affected. A physician was called aud
caused the windows of the house to be
opened, thus saving the sufferers lives. A
policeman went to the next house, occupied
by DR.. Barnes and family and the family OF
James Ingram. The officer found the ply
siciau in dying condition, and Mrs. Barnes
very sick. Mr.. Ingram was also i'll
and left the house to summon doctor,
when he fell in faint Mr.. Ingram's son
was very i'll. Prompt measures saved their
lives The policeman next went to the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Caroline Bennett and Knocked
at the door. He got no response and forced
the door oIen. On chair by stove in the
kitchen he found Mrs Bennett dead.
She had her false teeth in her hand,
and evidently died without a strug-
gle. The officer entered another room to
raise window WHOM he stumbled over the
dead body of Mrs. VIM. Giliillan, daughter Of
Mrs. Bennett. Lying on a couch in the room
with Mrs. Gillian was found the dead body OF
Charles Pratt, travelling agent. Several OF
the searching party were overcome by the
deadly poison before the windows OF the
house were oDened
The residents in the vicinity were notified
of their danger, anil many OF them deserted
their beds and sought shelter in quarters re-
moved from the streets through which the
gas comranys mains are laid. During the
autopsy on the women DR.. BontecoI, who
says that he has assisted at 5000 post-mor-
TENS, put his nose close to the body of one OF
the women to see if he could cetect any od3r
and he was made sick and had to leave the
room. He said he never experienced any
thing like it before. As the gas is odorless,
its presence is often not detected until the
victim is past heln. Twelve clerks in Troy

would take them without question, and
even an expert would be deceived unless
he made a critical examination. They
are very nearly to the standard weight.
The milling, on which so many counter
feiters fail, is admirably done. The ring

CRUSHED IN 4 PANIC.
Seventeen Persons Lose Their
Lives in q London Hall.
Women and Children Trampled
Upon in a Wild Stampede.

Seventeen persons-siXteen of them women
and children-lost their lives in panic
during performance given by tho Hebfo"
Dramatic Club, in Princes street. London. A
dispatch from the English metropolis gives
details US follows:
The hall in Princes street, Spitalhelds,
where fatal panic occurred last night, is
favorite resort for the Jews of that part or
London Entertainments have been given
there every night for long time Last even
ing benefit performance was given and the
place was crowded. During the pr ogress of
the play man and woman quarre;ed in the
street outside and near the main doorway
of the hall. The man used violence and the
woman screamed. Her cry was heard by q
passer-by, who misunderstood it anil shouted
''firem
The woman's screams and the cries OF
fire were heard inside, and at once created
panic, the audience, numbering 5lO, rising
in body and rushing pell-men for the main
entrance. The audience was almost entirely
Hebrew Dramatic Club, which was giving
the entertainment was on the stage when the
panic began, and did all in his power to allay
the excitement and to afford all possible
facilities for the exit of the people.
Many of the people construed the mana
gers earnestneSS into proof that there was
fire, and these increased their exertions to
get out. A number of women and children
who had been occupying some OF the rear
seats were overborne by strong men and fell
at the doorway, where they tripped up 9th.
ers who were crushed down by the rush OF
the frantic crowd.
When the people, after reaching the street,
ascertained the TO IS of the situation, q scene
OF grat disorder of another kind enshed,
caused by the discovery that numbers were
missing. Then a rush back to the theatre
was made. This, however, was stopped at the
main entrance by the, police who had ar
rived and assumed control Seventeen
corpses were found inside the theatre near
the door. They were all torn, crushed and
disfgured. 1t was found that twelve OF the
dead were women, three were boys, one was
girl, and one man. The remains were al
most unrecognizable. Eyewitness say
that the way the strong men who got upper
most in the struggle at the door, crushed and
trampled on those who fell down in the con-
flict was ruthless aud brutal
1t is stated that number of infants car
ried in their mothers arms and clung to
through all theIpanic, were also crushed or
smothered to death, and that number OF
others were fatally injured.
The disaster arose, not from the crowdinS
of the rassnge, but from the frantic efforts
of the people in the gallery to force their way
down the crowded stairs The men and
women in front were driven headlong into
the passage whore they met the ex"ited Oc-
